a gift to you

It's my birthday (yes, I get more excited about my birthday than most 12 year olds) but I thought I'd give you all a fun gift. Go check out this website: http://bookinscriptions.com/
It's a site dedicated to fun and interesting book inscriptions. I love to get and give books as gifts. Though I'm not usually big on writing in books, these are fun. Enjoy!

I have bought at least 1 used book from Powells in Portland with an inscription. It was in a very old copy and I'll have to search for it.

I remember feeling melancholy intruding on a message from someone who was long since dead to someone else, likely the same. That is why many old books end up in Powells.

Happy belated birthday, sorry I missed it last week.

And thank you for the birthday gift, very cool.

I hope you celebrated in style and were appreciated and doted on by those around you!
